Neu is suspected to have been the "middle man", and participated in hundreds of financial transactions, involving phone and internet scams, created to con money from victims across the United States. The police department did not immediately return a request for more specifics on his alleged role.

While this is now a "laughable" crime, at one point the "Nigerian Prince" scam stole almost $100 million from Americans, and even though awareness and the government have aided its decline, Neu's arrest is a reminder to citizens about the lengths they should go to protect themselves. They say Neu took part in hundreds of financial transactions involving phone and online scams to con money from people across the United States.

While Mr. Neu does not have a royal title, but a large portion of the money obtained through his scamming did go to Nigerian co-conspirators, wrote police.

Once the victim stops sending money, the perpetrators have been known to use the personal information and checks that they received to impersonate the victim, draining bank accounts and credit card balances.
